Welcome to my first blog! How appropriate for this to be at the time that I can wish my listeners and friends Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah. I’d like to talk to you about GRATITUDE.
gratitude |ˈgratəˌt(y)o͞od| noun
“the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness”
I am grateful for so many things in my world but most of all … I am grateful to you for giving me this gift in my life. I get to do what I LOVE to do. I get to do an honest days work, interview interesting and wise people and share my opinions from a working man’s perspective.
I am grateful to my brother, Tom, who gave me a gift though I didn’t see this as a gift when he died in Iraq. I am humbled by how I got into this business but that that story is for another blog.
I am grateful for my friends and a great family. We were blessed in September with my first grandchild Thomas. (Named after my brother.)
We are so blessed to be Americans and yet we spend far too much time complaining. I may have some legitimate complaints, but during this time of year when I reflect on my life all I feel is gratitude.
God Bless us everyone
